Lyon Airport

I recently visited St Exupery Airport for a transfer to Barcelona. All shops were already closed and the b-lounges were situated on landside. It was very warm and there was almost no air conditioning in some parts of the terminal. I don't know why such an important airport is that bad.

Very small airport: BA Executive Club members have to use the Mont Blanc lounge which has a very limited selection of drinks and snacks and gets crowded very easily. It's almost depressing to stay in that dark room (often left unattended in the late afternoon) but the departures area is even more lacking in amenities. I would have advised arriving at the airport close to your departure time but I've seen what happens when the security line backs up because of extremely slow processing. I say don't risk it.
